Just put tha update 3.8 and everything is running smooth so far. Tried using voodoo louder but gunslinger isn't compatible with it. I was gona update to Hitman but I read post that it doesnt werk with Blazer 3.8, any suggestions will help greatly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
When I was on 3.8, Voodoo louder worked with Gunslinger. In order to get it to work though I had to reinstall it from the market instead of restoring it with titanium.

Just wanted to comment on Phantoms great work and awesome battery life.

Running stock kernel with v3.8

Was at 100% yesterday, today after 19 hours I'm sitting at 5% with mid-heavy use of phone... Best battery life I've got so far compared to any other ROMS I've used, thanks Phantom :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Just flashed 3.8 after refusing to budge from 3.5. Not in love with the ICS theme but it's fine. I'm a bit concerned with battery life. Guess 3.5 has spoiled me silly and 3.8 isn't comparing to what I get on 3.5.

Will let it break in for a week and decide whether to nandroid back to 3.5. My usage habits haven't changed or deviated from my usual yet I definitely notice a slight tinkle more drain on 3.8 vs 3.5.

Anyway, good work Mr. Phantom.

I had this issue 2 months ago. Had to have my phone swapped. I tried every different rom, factory restore and a bunch of other things. I think it is hardware related. I know it is very annoying. But I think it is a defect in the phone. Sprint replaced it with my insurance.

Even at that rate, you are still on track for 11hrs. Can you tell us what you were doing with the device? You might also try removing OK Cupid. Just a quick Google search revealed it might be a battery monster.

If it gets worse I'd definitely think about trading it in.

Sudden restarts and battery drops

So sorry if someone has posted this before but I've used the search tool and read quit a few pages and I haven't really seen anyone touch on the issue. I'm a Marine and I don't have a lot of time to do as much research as I'd like on the issue so I'm hoping someone can help me out. :)

So anyways, this started on BlazerROM. My phone randomly restarts several times a day. It doesn't always do a full restart though. It freezes and then one of two things happen. Sometimes the screen will turn black for like 10 seconds and then it will turn back on and widget locker will be closed, it'll have to load all the widgets, won't have a signal, and then goes back to normal after it all loads up.

Other times though it completely restarts and when it comes back on the battery will have dropped dramatically, like in the screenshot I posted.

At first it wasn't too much of an issue. Happened a few times a day but I moved on. Now with this battery thing it's sucking pretty bad though.

So it's probably some easy fix and someone has probably asked about it already, so again, sorry, please don't flame. Really don't get a lot of time to sit at the computer between the Corps and family.

Thanks guys!

It's only been 4-5 days. I got it as soon as it came out I don't remember the exact day. Ive switched kernels a couple times so it won't be fully settled till next week. The other day I was at 65% after 13 hours of use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
OK nice, thanks. I keep switching kernels, OC/UV settings, ROM versions... too much flashing, i guess. 3.8 is pretty solid so far tho
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MustWarnothers:
For me personally, I noticed that EL26 modem is the only one that gives me good battery life. In a 7.5 hour night sleeping, it went from 77% down to 75%, without throwing on airplane mode. This is with screen off profile 200-500, conservative gov, 800mv-850mv respectively.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
I'm underclocking to 200-800 with the conservative governor and no undervolting with Rom Toolbox :) I hardly notice ANY lag, just the time it takes for the screen to come back with the power button.

And just a note, I'm using whatever kernel came with Blazer's ROM, I forgot to put 1.4.1 back after flashing the beta :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
Please share some screen shots :) are you using any scripts or apps for underclocking/undervolting?

Not sure what all the issues you're having are coming from (as someone said already, it could be themes or other mods). If you want a 'quicker' but more radical fix; might take all of 30-60 minutes. I'd backup my data and apps (via Titianium Pro and also a recovery/nandroid image). Then flash to stock rooted via sfhub [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101] and use the AutoRootPackage [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728] option C to add Rogue's CWM Recovery Kernal. Then dowload Titanium from the market and reload your apps and settings (hopefully after a couple of restarts to settle in your phone will be 'stock' save for the root and the CWM recovery. Download the modified caulkins format.zip, the Rogue 3.7 and 3.8 update zips save them to your Ext SD card. Boot into Recovery (CWM) choose the install from zip option and run the modified format. Then the Rogue 3.7 install. Boot and hopefully you'll be back to at least working with 3.7. Boot a few times then back to recovery and try the 3.8 update. Hope that helps. Also check out Qbking77' vids they are well done. If that doesn't work you and always user the image you created at the start - boot into recovery and choose restore and select that image and you're back to where you started. Hope that helps some.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
I'm not too familiar with kernels and why people live flashing them. Somebody let me know lol. Does it significantly increase performance or battery life or something?

All I know is so far on Blazer 3.8 I get decent signal and battery life is not bad. I'm a heavy user so I don't get no 1 day and a half. I probably would if i barely used my phone. But i get enough to last me from the time i wake up for work to the time i go to sleep at night. It does have a bug with the screen off animation, sometimes it's blurry before the screen goes off, but it doesn't happen all the time just sometimes.

When I first flashed 3.7 I got bad battery life but I think it may have been a bad download or bad flash. Since I've reflashed it's been decent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
Pulling the battery in odin mode should not brick your battery. I have pulled it before and it has never affected my phone. You may have just held the volume button incorrectly

FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK!!!!!

After trying to flash 3.8 several times in several different ways, including going back to stock rooted and reflashing 3.7 then 3.8 (which didn't work), I FINALLY got past the boot screen!

All I did was flash 3.8 over 3.7 WITHOUT FLASHING THE MODDED FORMAT ZIP!

Just clear cache/dalvik (I usually do it several times for both), then flash 3-8 without wiping any data. Worked like a charm. Running blazing fast.

See above

Good to know! Thanks bro! I might have to give friendcaster another shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robpet2:
you have to set up the contact sync thru the setting in friendcaster.

friendcaster hands down is better - faster load times, ping notifications ( it doenst have to check every XX minutes or hours, it sends it right to you ). you can theme friendcaster also

Will be getting an update out this weekend!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnvicencio:
For some reason I like the 3.7 better than 3.8 due to battery life. There's this thing about call/text/email logs under 'History' when you go to Contact and click on an individual person in your contact where this tab 'History' under 3.8 doesn't work. I had to revert back to 3.7, since it's already stable. I wish this one works well. The other ROMS don't seem to get this activity 'History' tab under individual contact right. Either that or the 'activity' tab isn't working on other ROMS, provided you installed the Social Hub.

Other than that very stable and reliable. I think it's better than other ROMs
